Common Anthelid, Anthela acuta – this variably coloured species has the forewings with costa gently arched, the submedian line largely straight but sharply bent inwards just before reaching the costa, and in the typical form has forewings with two discal dots white centered and antennae yellow with fuscous pectinations. For Tasmania, this also applies to A. subfalcata and A. cinerascens, which Turner (1921) considered synonyms of A. acuta.
